The impact of having a lack of water and electricity and how it can cause depression and panic.

Due to unfulfilled basic necessities, a lack of electricity and water can cause panic and despair as well as chronic tension. Disruptions to daily routines lead to chaos and a loss of control. Hopelessness is exacerbated by social isolation brought on by a lack of communication and panic in the community. Without electricity, worries about safety amplify worry, while health hazards from rotting food and inadequate hygiene amplify fear. Loss of agency and vulnerability fuels helplessness and anxiety, which in turn fuels mental health problems including panic attacks and depression.

IV: Lack of water & electricity

DV: Depression & panic

H0: there is no significant relationship between lack of water & electricity and panic and depression.

H1: the lack of water & electricity can cause depression and panic.

As community psychologists, we are interested to study how an unpredicted reduction in basic needs that leads to an insufficient supply of resources to accommodate everyone in society leads to social distress. Studying the impact of food scarcity on social inequality aligns with their goal of addressing and mitigating factors that contribute to unfair disparities in society.

Key variables:

Basic needs- Internet, Water, Food, Safety

Hypotheses:

IV: Lack of food resources

DV: Social unrest/ inequality

Null hypothesis (H0): The lack of food resources has no effect on social inequality.

Alternate hypothesis (H1): An increase in lack of food resources correlates to an increase in social inequality.

1) understand why people panic buy and how to reduce such behaviour

educate people because when one person does it, everyone will follow = situation worsens and there is unnecessary panic

panic buying is a common response - people do not get the facts right first before they go and buy. for example buying 12 trays of eggs like Mr.Anil's neighbour

2) IV - Disruptions

DV - Response from public

H0 - no significant relationship between the disruptions and response from public

H1 - the more severe the disruptions, the increase in panic behaviour and distress from the public

1) As community psychologists we would like to focus on cybersecurity and POFMA as hackers and scammers are on rise, which creates terror among the public.

2) the key variables we identified are:

IV: Campaigns on cyber-protection

DV: Reduces anxiety amongst the public

H1: campaigns on cyber-protection will raise awareness in the community about how to protect themselves from cyber threats

H0: campaigns on cyber-protection will not raise awareness in the community about how to protect their personal data and cyber-theft.

One of the things we would study is the level of distress caused by the event as when the event occurs, people would be struck with fear and anxiety, worry for what may happen.

The I.V is the attacks, the lost of important daily resources like power and water. The D.V being the level of distressed caused.

Our H0 being, "The lost of important resources causes stress amount the people"

Our H1 being "The lost of important resources causes a rise in stress within the people of Singapore"

1. H0= There is no correlation between lack of communication(no technology) and anxiety levels in the community

H1= There is a high correlation between lack of communication and anxiety levels in the community.

Justification: due to cyber attacks technology has been shut down/ disrupted. This leds to informtion not being able to be disseminated to the public which causes more unease amongst the community, as they have no proper way of fully knowing what is going on. They my have been overreliant on technology for everything (news, friends, social media, work etc), but since it had suddenly been shut down, panic levels would rise, that can lead to feelings of isolation and anxiety.

Climate change and how it affects mental health

both our feelings (psychological) and our relationships with others (social) affect how we feel and cope.

Community psychologists study this because they want to understand how these things work together in communities. Helping people feel supported in their daily lives and creating environments helps build good mental health and feel well emotionally during difficult times like climate change

IV - climate change

DV: rates of mental health issues

H0 - there is no relationship between climate change and mental health issues

H1 - there is a correlation between climate change and mental health

1) As community psychologists, we are interested in studying people's minds and behavior why people get so panic and buy a lot of things that they don't need much, during a COVID pandemic.

2)IV: Educated people and make them calm down not to get panic whatever the situation they face.

DV: Reduce the anxiety and panic attack from the minds of people.

H0: The more people get panic and behave like that, the more difficulties some people will face who actually need food.

H1: The more we reduce people's panic, the more some people who are really in need won't face the difficulties during the pandemic.
